Abstract

In this study, we investigated the characteristics of students participating in Science Core high schools classes and their relevance to Positive Experiences on Science (hereinafter, PES), and factors causing PES, presented by the students of Science Core high schools. A total of 20 students and five teachers in four regions across the country participated in the in-depth interview, which were conducted with the focus group of students first, and then in-depth interviews with teachers. Based on the interview results, we explored teaching and learning experiences helpful to the PES, assessment experiences resulting in the PES, and ways to support Science Core high schools to enhance their PES. Students and teachers of Science Core high schools argued that students' participation will increase only if they engage in classes while drawing attention within the range that students can understand, students' PES such as scientific interest can be improved through experiments in which students choose topics or design their own exploration process, science competencies such as science problem solving ability and scientific thinking ability should be developed through exploratory experiment activities that fit the nature of science, etc. In addition, regarding ways to improve and support Science Core high schools to enhance PES, securing science class hours, restructuring the contents of science elective courses, and necessity of maintaining Science Core high schools are suggested. Based on the research results of science high school students' PES, ways to improve the PES of general high school students are discussed.

본 연구에서는 과학중점고 학생들이 말하는 과학중점고의 학생 참여형 수업의 특성과 과학긍정경험의 관련성 및 과학긍정경험 유발요인과 개선 방안을 탐색하였다. 전국 4개 권역에서 총 20명의 학생들과 5명의 담당 교사들이 심층면담에 참여하였으며, 먼저 학생 초점집단을 대상으로 심층면담을 진행하고 그 이후 교사와 심층면담을 진행하였다. 면담결과를 토대로 과학긍정경험에 도움이 되는 교수학습 경험, 과학긍정경험에 도움이 되는 평가 경험, 과학긍정경험 제고를 위한 과학중점고 개선과 지원 방안을 탐색하였다. 심층면담에서 과학중점고 학생들과 교사들은 학생들이 이해할 수 있는 범위 안에서 관심을 끌면서 수업을 진행해야 학생 참여도가 높아지고, 학생들이 주제를 정하거나 직접 탐구과정을 설계하는 실험을 통해 과학 흥미와 같은 긍정경험을 높일 수 있으며, 과학의 본질에 맞는 탐구실험 활동을 통해 과학 문제 해결력과 과학적 사고력 등의 역량을 길러줄 필요가 있다고 주장하였다. 또한, 과학긍정경험 제고를 위한 과학중점고 개선과 지원 방안으로는 과학 시수 확보, 과학과 선택과목의 내용을 선택과 집중 형태로 재구조화, 과학고가 아니더라도 과학을 좋아하는 학생들이 과학을 많이 배울 수 있도록 과학중점고 유지의 필요성 등이 제안되었다. 과학중점고 학생들의 과학긍정경험에 대한 연구결과를 토대로, 일반고 학생들의 과학긍정경험 제고에 주는 시사점과 일반고 학생들의 과학긍정경험을 높일 수 있는 방안을 제안하였다.
